Notice,
In your experience now,
Any thought that appears.
And for each thought now,
Ask,
Does it refer to I as a separate self,
Or as consciousness itself?
If the thought becomes about a future action,
For example,
I have to do this tonight.
Who is the I that this thought refers to?
What is tonight?
In this moment,
Does tonight exist?
Or is there only now?
If another thought comes,
Such as I am feeling pain,
Who is the I in this thought?
Is it a separate entity,
Or is it consciousness itself?
To infinite and eternal consciousness,
What is pain?
Indeed,
Is there such a thing as pain?
Or is pain merely a sensation within the so-called body?
Pain is the body itself,
But a sensation within awareness.
You see it to infinity or eternity.
No sensation can be pain.
It is incredibly small.
Not only that,
It is made of awareness itself.
If a thought comes,
Such as I have been hurt by another,
Who is the I that this thought refers to?
Is it a separate entity,
Or is it consciousness itself?
What is another?
Can there be anything outside of awareness?
And if there cannot be anything outside of awareness,
That must mean there is only one thought expressed in different forms.
Can any object of awareness change awareness?
As such,
Can anyone really hurt you awareness?
Take any thought,
Scrutinize its meaning,
See if it can stand the tests of truth.
And if it can't,
It automatically drops.
You are infinite and eternal consciousness.
Leave this understanding.
Be yourself.
Love only what is true,
What is trustworthy,
What is changeless.
Because then,
You are free.
Free from suffering,
Free from expectations,
Free from fulfilling the role that other people want you to fulfill.
You are just expressing freedom because you know that is what you are.
Finally,
See even if there is a doer of this exercise,
Of this scrutiny.
Who is it that does it?
Is it a separate entity or is it consciousness itself?
I will let you find the answer to that one.
Thank you.
